Built for production floors.
PlatenFlow is a control room for apparel decoration shops — orders in, pieces out, nothing in between gets lost. Built for shops running 500 to 50,000 pieces a month across multiple decoration methods.
Rules engine routing
Decoration method, style code, location, color, customer, store — every condition you actually use to route a piece. No code, no spreadsheets, and production exceptions get tracked instead of slipping through to a reprint.
Color-coded bin management
Auto-assign on barcode. Auto-release on shipping label print. See exactly which bin holds what at a glance from anywhere on the floor.
Live print queue with auto-advance
Direct Brother GTX SDK integration. Hot-folder dispatch for Kornit, Roland, and Epson. Operators see the next piece, the platen, the art file, and one button to send it.
Shipping and bins, linked
ShipStation generates the label. PlatenFlow releases the bin. Mobile scan-gun on any phone with a camera — no specialty hardware, no per-device license fees.
QC that actually catches
Three-panel piece review with art preview, garment mockup, and side-by-side comparison. Reject reasons feed back into rules to help catch the same mistake before it ships again.
Operations you can audit
Every status change, every QC pass, every reprint logged with operator, station, and timestamp. Real production accountability — end-of-month reports that match reality.
Shopify multi-store sync
Bring your stores into one production queue. Bidirectional address sync — edits in Shopify propagate to PlatenFlow and out to ShipStation automatically. Separate routing rules per store.
Mobile scanner, any phone
Built-in QR/barcode scanner runs on any phone or tablet with a camera. No specialty hardware, no per-device license fees. Hardware scan guns also supported.
Supplier integrations
S&S Activewear and SanMar built in with two-gate validation. Real-time inventory and order placement. Auto-route to your preferred supplier per store.
